Abstract

A method for producing a cheese, wherein the cheese rotates around its longitudinal axis and the yarn is subjected to a cross-winding movement while being fed to the cheese and wound thereon, and having a crossing angle, a winding angle and a placement distance associated therewith. The method including the steps of controlling the crossing angle and the winding ratio as a function of the cheese diameter during the winding process while controlling the placement distance so that it increases in conjunction with an increasing cheese diameter thereby preventing deformations and improving the production of cheeses. A cheese produced in accordance with the method of the present invention offers advantages for stacking and during transport.
